    ⚔️ Raids

    Birb is smol. Only 753 CP. Shadow bonus isn't going to help it much. Do not use Rookidee for raids.

    Shadow Rookidee PvP Analysis

    🧸 Little Cup

    Of course, Rookidee is too weak for the three main leagues. But it is in a unique place in the 500 CP Little Cup format. It does lose to quite a lot in the meta, such as the dominant Bronzor. But then Rookidee in its shadow form can also go toe-to-toe with other popular picks, most notably Wynaut, thanks to the sheer damage of Payback.
